Press Comments ON the Legislature.
Flandreau Enterprise: The terrltor-
ial legislature closed it's labors last Fri
day. Its distinguishing characteristic
has been extravaganza.
Sioux Falls Argus: The Dakota leg
islaturo seems to have been afflicted with
the same disease as the narional legisla-
ture-the disease of reckless approx ria
tion.
Mitchell Republican: A further re-
view OF the work of the recent legisla.
tive assembly convinces us that CON
gress will have to be appealed to inside
OF twelve months to undo much OF itt
work, if the credit of the territory is &c
be maintained.
Pioneer Press; The legislation OF ( be
past winter is calculated to discourage
taxpayers who have depended on the
promises OF economy which had previ-
onslY been made.
Redfeld Journal. The territorla
legislature has appropriated n million
and four hundred Thousand dollars fol
the various public institutions and fol
| currenr expenses for the ensuing two
years. The bonds that will be issued il
accordance with the provisions made b,
this assembly will exceed, it is said, the
entire bonded indebtedness OF Dakota
as existing. That may be fun for the
Legislators, but it's no soft snap for the
taxpayers.
Parker New Era: Our farmer legis
lature wax very liberal with public fund.-
land very economical with railway leRis
lation. The railway laws remain as o
old.

TWO rweedles.

Letcher Blade: Gov. Church vetoed
several appropriation bills because they
were extravagant. and notified members
that he would do the same with others
unleas they were cut down. GOV. Church
is committed to re~trenchment. He is a
wise and conservative guardian of the
peoples money. Tweedle-dee.
The governors income is about
$8,000.00. Half of this is given him by
laws passed by this same legislature, in
the shape OF fees, and comes ont of the
people OF the territory. These laws are
extravagant as we'll as illegal. Our econo.
mical guardian sees no objection to
them. Tweedie-dum.

them went away with more enlarged
ideas of the magnitude of newspaper
work than they ever had before. Pco-
pie who glance over the morning paper
at their breakfast tables have but little
idea of the vast amount of labor in
volved in getting out the paper. Here
after each Saturday evening our doors

There will be gentlemen in waiting to

partments of the Office and furnish all
explanation that may be desired. An

The Chicago Strike.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Builders and
Traders exchange was crowded with it's
members this morning in response to
call of the president for special meet
ing. 1t was declared that the working
men themselves were responsible for
the whole trouble, and not the members
of the exchange, as most people sup
posed. The master maSonS had granted
all the demands of the men until they
were served with a notice which read:
1--WE have met and fixed Saturday as
pay day" That was the last straw.
Resolutions were passed endorsing the
action of the Master Masons' asSocia-
ton, and promising them active aid and
assistance during the present strike.
The different associations OF building
contractors, the state board of archi-
tectS and the Chicago real estate boards
were requested to send committees OF
three to general conference to be hey ID
on Wednesday next at 10 a. m. The fol-
ing dispatch was received from Wi.lixs
II. SayWood, secretary of the Master
builders association of Boston:
We are watching your case with the great
est interest and sympathy. Individual liberty
mus. be sustained at any cost.
Three cheers and tiger were given
when the meeting adjourned.

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE

1t seems to me that the great question
to be wrested with in 1883 will be the
tariff. In the last presidential cam
paign the platform of the Republican
party declared in no uncertain words in
favor of high protective tariff, while
the Democratic platform was equally
positive in favor of low tariff. Now,
if the voters of the country could be
controlled by the resolutions of party
conventions, the issue would be Squarely
made upon this very important question,
but queer enough, parties themselves
are divided. There are high and low
tariff men in both parties.
The platform of the Democratic party
demanded a revision of the tariff laws,
hut when the question was brought UP
III the last congress it was found
that so many Democratic members
were in favor of high tariff that
all legislation for the relief of the
country, in that direction, was absolutely
impossible, and i'll the meantime the
people are compelled to submit to war
taxes after a period of twenty years of
profound peace. Almost fourth of a
century has passed since the smoke
cloud of battle reared itself above the
horizon, yet the burdens of the war are
still upon us. The result of the high
tariff is seen by all An immense sum
OF money is Wrenehed annually from
